Bugaboo Stroller

There is no baby product that inspires lust like a Bugaboo Frog or Bugaboo Chameleon stroller.  Bugaboo has nailed the high end luxury stroller market with it’s rolling art objects.

However, much like a luxury car, there are 2 ways to enter the Bugaboo market.  You can go plunk down $730 new (that is if you can avoid the temptation of the darling accessories that can easily drive the price of a Bugaboo Frog over the $1000 mark) or you can buy a used Bugaboo Chameleon or Frog on Craigslist or Ebay.

Try going the Craigslist route first; for instance there is a Bugaboo Chameleon (retails for $979 new) on New York City’s Craigslist right now for $350 that the seller bought last year.  As another bonus to buying used, frequently you can find extras like the Bugaboo Universal Drink Holster, Bugaboo Parasol, Bugaboo Travel Bag or Bugaboo Footmuff included with the stroller.

If you are not in an area where you can find Bugaboo’s on Craigslist go onto Craigslist’s New York City site, or the site of the closest large city and look there.  Very often sellers will box them up and ship them out to you.

If you are a germ freak and weirded out about putting your baby in a used stroller, consider buying a used Bugaboo then purchasing new upholstery.  You can order a replacement fabric set through Bugaboo which includes sun canopy, seat fabric and bassinet apron for around $100 and you have a huge choice in colors.
